“Dog walking is no job; it's a passion!”
Hi there! I have been walking dogs in Hoboken, NJ for over 2 years now, which I absolutely love! I have had an endearing love for dogs since 2001 when my parents finally gave into the many pleas of my two younger brothers and I to get us a dog. We were introduced to Tiki, a magnificent Black Labrador, who became the sister we never had.

I doubt you're ever gonna find anyone who loves dogs more than I do. I've lived with dogs my whole life, walked at least 100 of my friends dogs, read dog books, volunteered at the Humane society in Hawaii, donate to ASPCA monthly, and just love them like crazy. I'm used to walking between 35.000 to 45.000 steps a day and can't wait to start walking your little one.

Hi there. My name is Dan. I go to school at GW, and I'm looking to walk some local pooches to help pay for school. I'm new to the world of professional pet care, but I'm no stranger to caring for dogs. I have a basset hound mix named Bon Bon back home (who I miss like crazy) that I've loved and cared for the past 8 years. I've also had experience sitting and walking dogs for neighbors and relatives. I look forward to getting out to meet some new pups and brighten their days.

Hello, my name is Gideon. I had two dogs when I was a boy, and I have always loved them. As an adult, I personally rescued a 6-month old Pit Bull Terrier who had been abandoned in the street, and she was the best dog ever! Training and raising her taught me a lot about how dogs behave, and how to walk them responsibly. Thank you for reading my bio, I look forward to meeting and walking your dogs!

Ello! My name is Ashley, and I am a nature loving artist whose only desire in life is to love and be loved. I am passionate about creating things and exploring the wonders of life, as well as trying to change the world one smile at a time. I have grown up around many different animals and currently have a ferret who is more like my daughter than my pet. When I can I take her everywhere with me and do all that I can to make sure she has the best life that she can possibly have. It is my goal to open up a cuddle business where I offer love and support, reiki, therapy, and art lessons to those that would like to become the best versions of themselves that they can be. I have a background in psychology that I use everyday to understand all the living beings around me to adapt to the best possible way to interact with them as well as understand what makes them tick as a being.

Dog Boarding in Manhattan
The bustling streets of Manhattan are filled with both homeless people and homeless pets. To help combat animal homelessness in Manhattan, New York, a few dedicated animal shelters provide a temporary home, food, and healthcare to hundreds of animals every year.
Bideawee is one of America’s first no-kill animal shelters. When the shelter opened in 1903, the mission of the founder was to prevent animals from being unnecessarily euthanized while at shelters. By 1906, the rescue was officially incorporated as a non-profit organization. Bideawee cares for thousands of animals every year and relies on fundraising, donations, and adoption fees to continue to care for homeless animals. With a matchmaking service, Bideawee helps potential pet owners find the perfect pet for their lifestyle. The shelter also runs a dog park for members.
Animal Care Centers of NYC takes in more than 35,000 animals each year. Since the organization never turns away an animal in need, the shelter has cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, rabbits, birds, small mammals, farm animals, and wild animals. It is the only non-profit organization to care for such a wide array of animals in the NYC area. The organization’s mission is to end animal homelessness in NYC, which is a huge task. The shelter currently has more than 200 animals in its care.
If you live in the Manhattan, New York, area and are looking for a new furry creature to bring into your home, consider visiting one of these animal shelters to find your new companion.
